16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -75%) Cadogan Gardens	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Cadogan Gardens 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in maiden at this course (7f, 80/1) 30 days ago. Up in trip. Appeals as a potential improver in handicaps. Looks a likely improver for this switch to nurseries; moves up in trip.
2	11 2nd (11) (33/1 -32%) Danehill Star	33 33/1(-32%)	(11) Danehill Star 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 8 in nursery at Lingfield (1m) 21 days ago. Others are preferred again. Passed a couple in the straight when 66-1 for nursery debut; likely needs more time.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -33%) Checkmeout	8 8/1(-33%)	(2) Checkmeout 8/1, Modest form. 18/1, creditable fourth of 12 in novice at Chelmsford (7f) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Returning to further is a plus but bit more is needed.
4	8 4th (8) (10/11 +77%) Bradman	0.909091 10/11(+77%)	(8) Bradman 10/11, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, did well under the circumstances when fourth of 11 in C&D nursery 5 days ago, nearest at the finish after being caught too far back. Big player. Did best of those ridden with restraint over C&D on Friday and is better berthed here.
5th	9 5th (9) (22/1 -340%) Tres Chic	22 22/1(-340%)	(9) Tres Chic 22/1, Career best when winning 10-runner nursery (11/1) at Leicester (1m, heavy) 36 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly. Scored in second nursery 36 days ago and should be thereabouts up 3lb.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -150%) Terratino Fire	20 20/1(-150%)	(4) Terratino Fire 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1 and cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (1m) 19 days ago. Visor on now. No match for the winner or the second Eagle Landed on nursery debut this month.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -300%) Catena	100 100/1(-300%)	(6) Catena 100/1, Last of 7 in nursery (50/1) at Chelmsford (1¼m) 39 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster. Cheekpieces on first time. Gone backwards and changed hands for just 3,500gns last month.
8th	10 8th (10) (5/1 +0%) Eagle Landed	5 5/1(+0%)	(10) Eagle Landed 5/1, 12/1, second of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (1m) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Enters calculations. Major claims on last-time-out second (front pair 5l clear) when upped to 1m.
9th	1 9th (1) (13/2 +35%) True Blue Gent	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(1) True Blue Gent 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f, 250/1) 37 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on first now handicapping. One to note in the betting. Lot to like on handicap debut with yard in fine form.
10th	5 10th (5) (50/1 -213%) Aljadel	50 50/1(-213%)	(5) Aljadel 50/1, Successful in a maiden at Lingfield in August but that form is weak and she's been well beaten in 2 nurseries since. Maiden winner but nursery form leaves a lot to be desired; up in trip.
11th	12 11th (12) (16/1 -14%) Too Much Too Young	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Too Much Too Young 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, respectable fourth of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (1m) 19 days ago. Bit more competitive since switched to nurseries; has ground to make up on Eagle Landed.
12th	7 12th (7) (22/1 -175%) Weston Court	22 22/1(-175%)	(7) Weston Court 22/1, Good 1¼ lengths third of 10 to Tres Chic in nursery (9/2) at Leicester (1m, heavy) 36 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on first time. Narrow PB when third to Tres Chic at Leicester last time but stall 12 is a blow.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Tres Chic showed much more on her nursery bow and then confirmed that promise when breaking through at Leicester. A rise of 3lb is fair, but the runner-up did absolutely nothing for the form next time so she is passed over in favour of TERRATINO FIRE, who was an encouraging third on his handicap debut at Newcastle and is now 4lb better off with runner-up Eagle Landed, with cheekpieces replaced by a visor. There should be races in Checkmeout off this sort of figure, while Bradman is just one more to consider.

BRADMAN is given a chance to build on the promise of last week's C&D nursery debut fourth. Newcastle runner-up Eagle Landed is second choice ahead of Stan Moore's Leicester winner Tres Chic. Cadogan Gardens could have more to offer now handicapping and would also enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Marco Botti is having a fine November and his TRUE BLUE GENT could relish this step up in trip on nursery debut.

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (13/8 -8%) Bankrupt	1.625 13/8(-8%)	(1) Bankrupt 13/8, Arrives on a 4-timer after wins at Kempton, here and Lingfield. A 5 lb penalty demands a bit more but he's well drawn and has to enter the reckoning in his current mood. Things have really clicked of late, winning 4 of last 6 (inc C&D); good draw; respected.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 -13%) Victors Dream	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(8) Victors Dream 9/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 10 in C&D handicap when last seen in August but is starting to look well treated on the form he showed in the spring. Three good AW runs in the summer but form has dipped the last twice; no accessories today.
3	10 3rd (10) (11/2 +61%) Katar	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(10) Katar 11/2, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford (6f) 18 days ago. 20-race maiden; not at best last time but last month's two Chelmsford seconds were solid.
4	11 4th (11) (12/1 +25%) Yaahobby	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) Yaahobby 12/1, C&D winner in July but has struggled in 5 outings since. Conditions to suit but he's been quiet, like many from the yard, since a C&D win in July.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 +10%) Aconcagua Mountain	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(2) Aconcagua Mountain 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in September. 10/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 19 days ago. 2-2 over C&D; impressive at Ayr in September; less good since but could revive back here.
6th	9 6th (9) (16/1 -14%) Fair And Square	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Fair And Square 16/1, Finally got off the mark in maiden company at Bath in August but well beaten in 2 handicaps there since. Well beaten in two handicaps since his Bath maiden success in August; little appeal.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -175%) Another Angel	33 33/1(-175%)	(6) Another Angel 33/1, Course winner. Three wins from 18 runs this year. Last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 25/1) 23 days ago. Chance on his spring form but yard just 4-141 since the beginning of May.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -65%) Dynamite Katie	33 33/1(-65%)	(4) Dynamite Katie 33/1, 100/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 16 days ago. Falling in weights but need to see more. Struggled at big prices in six runs for current yard; too much to prove for comfort.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -180%) Teresa Grace	28 28/1(-180%)	(3) Teresa Grace 28/1, Improved to make a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Thirsk in April. Below that level in only 2 outings since. Now tackles AW for the first time. Winning stable debut/reappearance in April (made all over 5f) but less good twice since.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 -45%) Cuban Grey	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) Cuban Grey 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in September. 13/2, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 17 days ago. First-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces. Bounce back needed. Not beaten a rival in two starts since a winning stable debut in September; new headgear.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

BANKRUPT is flying at present and completed a hat-trick with another determined display to get the better of Nordic Glory at Lingfield. Equally at home on Tapeta, Chelsea Banham's speedster can continue his winning spree under his penalty, although he potentially faces competition for the lead from Teresa Grace, who might be dangerous if taking to the all-weather. Aconcagua Mountain is two from two here, with Victors Dream and Cuban Grey a couple more to enter the equation.

BANKRUPT is taken to land the 4-timer from a favourable draw. The returning Victors Dream is interesting, while Teresa Grace could figure on her AW debut.

Bankrupt isn't taken on lightly in his current form but ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN makes plenty of appeal in his bid to make it 3-3 here.

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (10/11 -14%) Moon Flight	0.909091 10/11(-14%)	(4) Moon Flight 10/11, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 11/8, creditable second of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 6 days ago. Back down in trip and he's an obvious candidate in a very winnable race. Just about sets the standard and big surprise if not heavily involved.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 -20%) Kaidu	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) Kaidu 6/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 16/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces and he has to enter calculations back in maiden company. Three RPRs in the 70s but never involved latest and cheekpieces are reached for.
3	3 3rd (3) (50/1 +0%) Lil Wade	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Lil Wade 50/1, Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 10 in minor event (50/1) at Southwell (6.1f). Off 162 days and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course. Failed to beat a rival on debut and finished a well-beaten seventh next time.
4	1 4th (1) (2/1 +67%) Embroidered Cloth	2 2/1(+67%)	(1) Embroidered Cloth 2/1, Once-raced gelding. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, good, 9/4) on sole start at 2 yrs. Entitled to come on for the run following a 19-month absence but he should leave that debut form behind in time. Hood applied. Better seemingly expected and looked likely for much of race on sole start 571 days ago.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 -150%) Royal Agent	40 40/1(-150%)	(7) Royal Agent 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden (28/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm). Off 15 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Hasn't achieved much despite finishing a close second on debut; off 478 days.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 -175%) Kanohi Breeze	11 11/1(-175%)	(6) Kanohi Breeze 11/1, Lightly-raced filly. Bit below form third of 6 in minor event (4/1) at Chelmsford City (5f). Off 6 months ahead of this tapeta debut and she could have a part to play. Improver in RPR terms last year but enough to prove now.
7th	8 7th (8) (100/1 -300%) Silveeanna	100 100/1(-300%)	(8) Silveeanna 100/1, Twice-raced mare. 100/1, first run since leaving Patrick Leech when last of 10 in minor event at Catterick (6f, heavy) 32 days ago. Opposable on debut for another new yard. This 5yo finished last in both starts 656 days apart.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 +60%) Shaka	16 16/1(+60%)	(5) Shaka 16/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 36 days ago. Readily passed over. Fifth off BHA mark of 49 on handicap debut last month; drops in trip.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Embroidered Cloth let down favourite-backers when fifth of sixth on his Doncaster debut. Those in front of him are rated in the 80s or higher, but the subsequent 19-month absence can't be ignored so the vote goes to MOON FLIGHT. Sir Mark Prescott's gelding has occupied the runner-up berth in four of his seven starts, most recently at Chelmsford last week, and he can finally be rewarded for his consistency. Kanohi Breeze and Kaidu could make the frame.

With no strength in depth to this maiden, EMBROIDERED CLOTH is worth chancing despite being absent since making his debut at Doncaster in April 2022. Better was clearly expected on that occasion (sent off favourite) and it will look significant if there's confidence behind him in the betting. Moon Flight is the obvious one but he's proving expensive to follow and it's hard to pin down what his optimum trip is. Kaidu and Kanohi Breeze are others to consider.

Kaidu and Moon Flight (feared most) have had their limitations exposed so it looks worth risking EMBROIDERED CLOTH.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (40/1 -100%) Shabaaby	40 40/1(-100%)	(4) Shabaaby 40/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 50/1) 33 days ago. Blinkers back on. Easy to look elsewhere. 10lb lower than when 3rd at Ayr in May but little to enthuse over since then.
2	6 2nd (6) (13/2 +7%) Sherdil	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(6) Sherdil 13/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Newcastle (5f) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Not one to write off. Good run on penultimate start but failed to build on it latest; having a rare 6f run here.
3	9 3rd (9) (33/1 -136%) Midnight Flame	33 33/1(-136%)	(9) Midnight Flame 33/1, 25/1, sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago. Something to prove at present. Not beaten far over C&D last month but without having any excuses; others look stronger.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 -33%) Rhubarb	16 16/1(-33%)	(2) Rhubarb 16/1, Latest win at Nottingham in October. Eighth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Likely to bounce back. 5f win in the mud at Nottingham last month; less good back on AW a fortnight ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -482%) Jumira Bridge	16 16/1(-482%)	(5) Jumira Bridge 16/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 5/1) 41 days ago. Should go well again. C&D winner; won readily last time but a 5lb rise in a stronger race leaves him vulnerable.
6th	12 6th (12) (7/2 +71%) White Mist	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(12) White Mist 7/2, 10/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 42 days ago. Not completely dismissed. 0-13 but her best effort came over C&D and she's of interest back down at 6f.
7th	3 7th (3) (22/1 -38%) Stoic Syd	22 22/1(-38%)	(3) Stoic Syd 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Off 6 months. Not easy to make a case for. No impact in two handicaps in the spring; wide draw back from a break; enough to prove.
8th	1 8th (1) (Evens +50%) White Umbrella	0 Evens(+50%)	(1) White Umbrella Evens, 10/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D 5 days ago, suited by way race developed. Shortlist material. Swept through up the rail to win cosily over C&D last week; no penalty; major player.
9th	8 9th (8) (15/2 -7%) Billian	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(8) Billian 15/2, C&D winner. 6/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, never nearer. One to consider. On winning mark & conditions suit; often slowly away; dangerous if getting pace to aim at.
10th	11 10th (11) (33/1 -32%) Royal Mariner	33 33/1(-32%)	(11) Royal Mariner 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 11 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 12/1), slowly away. Off 100 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Two 6f AW wins for former yard but he's yet to get going for new stable this year.
11th	7 11th (7) (40/1 -100%) Storm Venture	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Storm Venture 40/1, 14/1, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 43 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Exposed maiden who didn't feature on last month's stable debut; drawn wide; headgear added.
12th	10 12th (10) (80/1 -220%) Rockley Point	80 80/1(-220%)	(10) Rockley Point 80/1, 22/1, last of 13 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good). Off 6 months. Back up in trip. Others preferred. Multiple winner but absent since May and this perhaps not the day to catch him.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Georgia Dobie got a good tune out of WHITE UMBRELLA last week, with the pair coming from the rear to strike over C&D. As that was an apprentices' race, Chris Kellett's four-year-old escapes a penalty and she can take full advantage. Jumira Bridge burst back into life when recording a decisive triumph at Chelmsford and is a threat off a 5lb higher rating. Sherdil was fancied to perform a lot better than he did at Newcastle last week and the step up from 5f is an interesting move.

WHITE UMBRELLA escapes a penalty for her recent C&D success so, if the race doesn't come too soon, she should be able to follow up. Jumira Bridge looks a major threat and Sherdil is likely to bounce back to form.

White Umbrella is the one to beat after last week's cosy C&D win but this could be the day it all clicks for WHITE MIST.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (17/2 -13%) Clarendon House	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(1) Clarendon House 17/2, Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap (9/4) at Sandown (5f, good), possibly amiss. Off 138 days. Makes tapeta debut. More required. Seemingly amiss when last seen and has a bit to prove on AW debut having been gelded.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 -88%) Strong Johnson	16 16/1(-88%)	(9) Strong Johnson 16/1, 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago. Should give another good account. Stall 9 no good for course debut and this Class 2 might be a bridge too far.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +13%) Alligator Alley	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) Alligator Alley 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in August. 7/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Makes plenty of appeal. Looks poised to strike on AW and could be the answer.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 +15%) Chipstead	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(2) Chipstead 11/2, 9/1, bit below form third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not completely dismissed. Claims if on a going day for all he hasn't run on AW since 2021.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/2 +31%) Intrinsic Bond	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(3) Intrinsic Bond 9/2, Fifth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 5/1) 25 days ago, never nearer. Needs to bounce back but mark is becoming appealing. Has done very well for new yard and could play a part if not finding this too sharp.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -18%) Rocket Rodney	10 10/1(-18%)	(5) Rocket Rodney 10/1, Last of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Pontefract (5f, good). Off 124 days. Makes tapeta debut. Not dismissed back from a break. Mostly run well when avoiding good to soft ground; passed over on AW debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (17/2 -21%) Glorious Angel	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(7) Glorious Angel 17/2, 3 wins from 21 runs this year. 7¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Tacarib Bay in listed race (33/1) at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago. Others more appealing. Kept very busy; has lost the winning habit for all she's regularly run well.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 +0%) May Sonic	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) May Sonic 10/1, 20/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Recent PB when going down by a neck at Southwell three ago but didn't run his race latest.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/2 -38%) Mondammej	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(8) Mondammej 11/2, C&D winner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago, hampered. Should be on the premises. Would ideally like to see yard in better form but could easily win this off current mark.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Clarendon House was a big disappointment at Sandown when last seen, although he was in good form prior to that and has been gelded during his time off. As is the case with Chipstead, though, he needs to prove his worth on an artificial surface, whereas GLORIOUS ANGEL is a three-time Tapeta winner who was hammering on the door in handicaps prior to coming up short in the Wentworth Stakes. Intrinsic Bond and Alligator Alley are two more to keep in mind in a trappy sprint.

ALLIGATOR ALLEY shaped better than the result at Newcastle last time and, in a race where several have something to prove, he's worth a chance to resume winning ways. Mondammej could pose a threat and Intrinsic Bond is a big player if back on his game returning to the tapeta.

The vote goes to ALLIGATOR ALLEY (nap), who could be in for another good winter having racked up a hat-trick this time last year.

1	1 1st (1) (17/2 +15%) Sterling Knight	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(1) Sterling Knight 17/2, C&D winner. Back up in trip, ran better than for a while when fifth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (7f) 3 weeks ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Widest draw isn't ideal but there are plenty of positives.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +61%) Talis Evolvere	2.75 11/4(+61%)	(3) Talis Evolvere 11/4, Confirmed promise of first 2 starts when winning at Pontefract in September. Unproven on the ground when eighth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, heavy, 9/2) 18 days ago. Remains with potential. Looks worth keeping on side despite heavy-ground disappointment 18 days ago.
3	8 3rd (8) (8/1 +20%) O G Beachwear	8 8/1(+20%)	(8) O G Beachwear 8/1, Off the mark at Catterick in September. Run best excused when seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m, 7/1) 15 days ago, finding test too much. Could bounce back returned to this shorter distance. Went down only narrowly on handicap debut (7f) before appearing not to stay 1m.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 +44%) Love De Vega	5 5/1(+44%)	(4) Love De Vega 5/1, Had struggled previously on testing ground but ran respectably when fifth of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy, 22/1) 18 days ago. More required as he makes his first start on tapeta. Failed to beat a rival when tackling AW for the only time just over a year ago.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/1 -207%) Mclean House	5 5/1(-207%)	(7) Mclean House 5/1, Progressed again when landing the odds (10/11) in 10-runner minor event at Kempton (7f) in March (has been gelded since). Can score again with further improvement to come on his handicap debut. Maiden/novice winner and could take this handicap if fully wound up.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 -220%) Rock Melody	16 16/1(-220%)	(5) Rock Melody 16/1, C&D winner. In first-time cheekpieces, back to best when winning 9-runner handicap (9/1) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Can give another good account. Did well to win, given where she challenged from, last time; up 3lb.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 +0%) Shaw Park	20 20/1(+0%)	(9) Shaw Park 20/1, Form went the wrong way on his last 2 starts, tenth of 11 in minor event (50/1) at this course (8.6f) when last seen in March. Has work to do as he makes his handicap debut after 8 months off. Will do well to make a splash in this, his first handicap, off 254-day break.
8th	6 8th (6) (3/1 +81%) Ernie's Valentine	3 3/1(+81%)	(6) Ernie's Valentine 3/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft, 17/2) 81 days ago. However, he's on a workable mark as he makes first run for yard after leaving Paul & Oliver Cole. New owner does well on AW, but rather watch with no headgear.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Mclean House is definitely the most interesting horse in the line-up, having won two out of three at the start of the year, but he has been off since March. As is the case with Andrew Balding's unexposed three-year-old, YORKSHIRE was gelded during his time off, but he has the benefit of a recent comeback run when a staying-on fifth over 6f at Newcastle and that could give him an edge. Cheekpieces helped Rock Melody return to the winner's enclosure at Musselburgh, while O G Beachwear and Talis Evolvere may have more to offer and Sterling Knight has slipped to a nice mark.

MCLEAN HOUSE continued his progress when successful at Kempton in March, moving into the race in stylish fashion, and he can pick up where he left off (has been gelded) to complete the hat-trick on his handicap bow. Talis Evolvere is best not judged on his latest run on heavy ground and could be the main danger, ahead of Yorkshire.

Little went right for YORKSHIRE when again heavily backed last time but there should be no excuses here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 -50%) God Of Thunder	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(2) God Of Thunder 9/2, Creditable second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (13f, AW), well positioned. Off 6 months. Makes tapeta debut. Consistent sort who has run well fresh before, so makes plenty of appeal. Placed in 6 of his 7 handicap runs; absent since May but should give another good account.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 +13%) Boasty	7 7/1(+13%)	(1) Boasty 7/1, 5/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to strip fitter for latest run. Two 1m2f wins in the spring; stamina for this far still to be proven.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 -100%) Rock Chant	20 20/1(-100%)	(7) Rock Chant 20/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Last of 6 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW). Off 127 days. Down in trip. Could bounce back after a break. Three 2m AW wins in the spring; absent since July and 1m4f perhaps on the sharp side now.
4	10 4th (10) (6/1 -50%) Tafsir	6 6/1(-50%)	(10) Tafsir 6/1, 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Newcastle (16.2f) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Back down in trip. Should get a solid pace to aim at, so worth taking a chance on. Three turf wins this summer at around this trip; placed (2m) on AW latest; each-way shout.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 -33%) Dance Time	4 4/1(-33%)	(8) Dance Time 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Southwell in September. 8/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 12 days ago. One to consider. Two good runs since handicapping and remains capable of better; leading contender.
6th	3 6th (3) (14/1 +30%) Secret Potion	14 14/1(+30%)	(3) Secret Potion 14/1, Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (11f) 14 days ago, needing stiffer test. Not taken lightly. Went close at Kempton one year ago off 1lb higher; sharper for recent return; e-w claims.
7th	12 7th (12) (5/1 +38%) Alghazaal	5 5/1(+38%)	(12) Alghazaal 5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 9 days ago. Placed in Class 6 AW handicaps the last twice but needs more to win in this grade.
8th	4 8th (4) (66/1 -230%) Zambezi Magic	66 66/1(-230%)	(4) Zambezi Magic 66/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (125/1) at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 30 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Ended 2022 quietly and tailed off on last month's belated return; too much to prove.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 +64%) The Bay Warrior	9 9/1(+64%)	(9) The Bay Warrior 9/1, 14/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 50 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor but has plenty to prove. Placed over C&D in September but his wins have come at Chelmsford; others look stronger.
10th	6 10th (6) (9/1 +44%) Caldwell	9 9/1(+44%)	(6) Caldwell 9/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft, 10/1) 34 days ago, dropping away quickly. First run for yard after leaving Lucinda Russell. Dangerous mark but hard to gauge how much ability remains after a quiet year; new yard.
11th	11 11th (11) (12/1 +25%) Billy Bathgate	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) Billy Bathgate 12/1, Winner at Ayr in June. 15/2, respectable 10 lengths fifth of 13 to Tafsir in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good), unable to sustain effort. Off 103 days. One run with Tafsir this summer that makes him of serious interest; effective on Tapeta.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

DANCE TIME was a surprise winner on her handicap debut at Southwell before backing that performance up when runner-up at Newcastle earlier in the month. The daughter of Time Test is expected to take another step forward and defy a 2lb rise from the assessor. God Of Thunder was knocking on the door when last seen and he is respected on his first start since May. Tafsir completes the shortlist.

TAFSIR has been shaping better than the result lately and should get a reasonable pace to aim at here, so she's marginally preferred to God of Thunder, who can be relied upon to give his running. Dance Time is also considered.

The unexposed DANCE TIME is on the up and she can resume winning ways at the main expense of Tafsir.

2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 +0%) Enola Grey	3 3/1(+0%)	(8) Enola Grey 3/1, 5/1, first run since leaving Jonathan Portman when good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 7 days ago, very slowly away. Has to be taken seriously. Big eyecatcher on stable debut last week; obvious claims off same mark (she's 2lb well in).
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 -53%) Red Hat Eagle	2.5 5/2(-53%)	(3) Red Hat Eagle 5/2, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, evens) 27 days ago, better placed than most. Merits consideration in his hat-trick bid. Takes a good hold and has a bit further to run here but hat-trick is distinct possibility.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -75%) Dion Baker	28 28/1(-75%)	(1) Dion Baker 28/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. 50/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 19 days ago. Needs to bounce back. 1-22 and may be vulnerable in closing stages over this trip.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -40%) Fiftyshadesofred	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Fiftyshadesofred 28/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Cheekpieces/hood back on. Needs to bounce back in a major way. Much better than he's shown of late and could be perked up by returning headgear.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -233%) Eye Of The Water	40 40/1(-233%)	(6) Eye Of The Water 40/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Bath in August. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 7/1) 51 days ago. Place possibilities. Needs to return from short break in top form and this trip stretches him.
7th	9 7th (9) (8/1 -60%) Ravenglass	8 8/1(-60%)	(9) Ravenglass 8/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago. Likely to make his presence felt. Only ninth to Red Hat Eagle at Kempton last month but two good seconds from front since.
8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 +18%) Toophan	18 18/1(+18%)	(2) Toophan 18/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 66/1). Off 161 days and he's basically opposable. No positives to take from two runs for current yard and he has another break to overcome.
9th	10 9th (10) (66/1 -371%) Pink Jazz	66 66/1(-371%)	(10) Pink Jazz 66/1, C&D winner. 22/1, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 21 days ago. Others make greater appeal. Remains best watched with headgear still absent.
10th	5 10th (5) (10/1 +17%) King Of The Dance	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) King Of The Dance 10/1, 8/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 42 days ago, running on. Switches to tapeta on debut for a new yard that does well with new recruits. Each-way claims. Claims if on a going day starting out for new yard; Tapeta debut.

RED HAT EAGLE continues to creep up the handicap following two narrow-margin victories at Kempton and Lingfield, and William Knight's gelding gets the vote in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Enola Grey did well to finish as close as she did when runner-up after a slow beginning at Newcastle last week. She can enter calculations along with Ravenglass and Eagle Day.

ENOLA GREY did well to finish as close as she did on debut for this yard at Newcastle last week, given that she blew the start. She will have every chance of going one better this time, provided she breaks more sharply. The hat-trick seeking Red Hat Eagle is an obvious threat and he is next on the list ahead of Eagle Day, who is of interest judged on his C&D near-miss last month. King of The Dance and Ravenglass are live each-way candidates.

Two standouts in RED HAT EAGLE and Enola Grey. Enola Grey should be winning races this winter but Red Hat Eagle is safer.

Left with too much to do when eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago and should bounce back quickly. Too much to do over C&D latest and previously in excellent form.

PRINCE ALI has been a consistent performer over the past few months at this track and the slight drop back in trip gives the five-year-old strong credentials in his bid to get his head back in front. Win Win Power improved for Mick Appleby earlier in the year and he is capable of a decent showing on his return from a break, while Cliffs Of Capri and Star Of St James can fight it out for the minor honours.

PRINCE ALI has continued to run well in defeat since scoring over C&D in September and this looks a decent opportunity for him to regain the winning thread. Cliffs of Capri remains one to be interested in despite a less-than-ideal draw, with Green Power also expected to bounce back having been left with too much to do over C&D last time.

A chance is taken on MONKMOOR PIP proving his heavy-ground effort last time to be all wrong.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
